No Knife required...

With the much anticipated arrival of Baby Jacob and my weeks of time off from work, I have decided to get into the kitchen a little more! (really at all). I have re-found my love for my crock pot!! I love that things come out yummy without even really trying.  For example this recipe... Prep time was about 10 minutes (but it all varies on how fast you can open a can)
South Western Style Chicken in a Crock Pot Recipe (I think I need better names)
2 cans sweet corn (drained)
1 can black beans
1 can hot chopped peppers (or whatever spice level you like)
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
16 oz of salsa
Cheddar cheese
This is super easy... put the sweet corn, black beans, and some salsa into the crock pot and mix together.  Set the four chicken breasts on top.  Put more salsa and the peppers on top of the chicken and cook on low for 7.5 hours.  Honestly I didn't measure the salsa and just went by what I felt.  When you are about to serve it just throw some cheese on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes and the cheese will melt.

You can pretty much eat this with whatever... make it into a burrito. As for Mike and I, we forgot to buy tortilla's so we made some noodles and mixed everything together so it was like a casserole.  Turned out fantastic!! The chicken is so tender it just falls apart with a fork, no knife required!!
